To encourage you to seek it out, below are some lovely words others have said about the book:

‘A fine achievement’ THE TIMES

‘Behold the new Golden Age of Spy Kings’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘A dextrous writer who gives her tale a quickening, thrillerish propulsion’ NEW STATESMAN

‘Completely fascinating. A sophisticated and brilliantly constructed fictional retelling of a crucial relationship in 20th century espionage history. A tremendous achievement’ WILLIAM BOYD

‘Persuasive… involving… impressive’ LITERARY REVIEW

‘Atmospheric and rigorously researched… we’re slyly induced to fear that Edith (who is also juggling roles as a single mother and photographer) could be arrested or prevented from working, before realising that we’re rooting for a Stalinist enemy of Britain’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘A fascinating contribution to the literature of the Cambridge spies by a clever, nimble writer with some genuine skin in the game’ CHARLES CUMMING

‘Complex and powerfully written… a persuasive repurposing of the lives of real-life figures’ i NEWSPAPER

‘In Edith and Kim, Charlotte Philby brings to life a dangerous game of shadows that kept me reading late into the night. A dark, atmospheric and addictive novel’ CHRIS POWER, AUTHOR OF A LONELY MAN

‘I was most impressed… completely absorbing’ MICK HERRON

‘A tense and brilliantly structured story of power and intrigue… I couldn’t put it down’ JANE SHEMILT

‘Philby’s stunning fourth novel thrusts this former bit-player in the Cambridge Spy scandal to the centre stage where she belongs. Edith and Kim combines the authenticity of your favourite true crime podcast, the intrigue of a spy novel and the page-turning grip of a psychological thriller – all wrapped up in beautiful, evocative prose that transports the reader to shady corners of 1930s London and Vienna. Her best book yet’ ERIN KELLY

‘Impeccably researched and atmospheric’ DAILY MAIL
